Things got even uglier than expected at the #ZumaQandA. This time it wasn't the EFF walking out, it was the DA...

Jacob Zuma has spent the last few hours “answering” questions from MPs in parliament. Let’s just say things haven’t gone down well at all…

With the EFF not in attendance, South Africans might have been lulled into a false sense of “calm” for this Q&A. The DA and Mmusi Maimane managed to reach almost EFF levels of anger though, all over the president’s answers to questions. Things got so bad that the DA even walked out.

Maimane was particularly angered after Zuma refused to provide an amount in rands for his total legal costs. Zuma “answered” but did not provide any amount as the question had asked.

Things then erupted as Maimane pleaded with the Deputy Speaker to compel Zuma to provide an amount. This could easily be the most visibly angry Maimane has been in parliament and he could be seen banging on his table and shouting furiously.

The DA leader quickly got back up from his party members. Things didn’t work out though as Maimane eventually led the DA in a walkout as Zuma still refused to answer.
